avoiding this like the plague

Mickey, is the "15" in your TDEE formula a constant, or based on amount of daily physical activity? I used the formula listed in one of the stickies and the number seemed pretty high. Even after subtracting 500 calories to drop so e more weight, I'm having a hard time eating that much. Trying to dial this in.

Fifteen is a proven constant - the end values are always a bit on the low side, rather than being over like the online calculators consistently produce.

Thanks, Mickey. (Again)
